KNOCKIEL SYNGE would have finished second in this race 12 months ago but for unseating at the final fence. He did gain compensation at the Punchestown Festival, when landing the Ladies Cup and he will bid to confirm his six-length defeat of the 2023 victor Vital Island from when they last met over the banks in Lingstown last November.
